<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 But notice. When Jesus passed by there, He saw that great multitude. Doesn't it seem like for Him, with all the powers of God in Him... I believe that He could've healed every person there. Don't you believe that tonight? I believe He could've done it. But do you believe He was a true prophet sent from God? Was He the prophet that Moses said, "The Lord your God will rise up a prophet like unto me?" Was that the prophet? Then watch what He done.
Instead of speaking or saying anything to them, He healed one man, not a cripple, a man that had an infirmity for thirty and eight years. He healed him, and walked away, and left that great multitude of people lying there, of lame, blind, halt, and withered. Is that true?
When He was questioned on the subject, He said, "Verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Is that right? Well, if the Son could do no more than what the Father showed Him, how much less could the servant do except the Father had showed him?

L-8 God knows, my dear brother and sister, that it would be my heart tonight... If I could, I'd stand right here, and I'd like to see this whole group for the glory of God, to see them go out of this building just rejoicing, not a afflicted person in the building. I would. Now, I'd do that if I--if I knowed that I had to lay in the dirt on my back afterwards from six months without moving to see this audience tonight healed, every one of you, I would gladly do it for the glory of God's sake, and for your sake, that's been sick so long, and knows you shall die, many of you, unless God...?...
But how could I do it? And as by man, without first God tell me what to do. If I would do anything outside of that, I'd be a hypocrite, and it would not be so. And therefore, it would never be.

L-9 If you notice at the platform, how close I have to examine. One word within myself would be wrong. It must be perfect, for it's God; and I have to let Him do it. And then you watch It, watch the expressions. I ask sometimes if He would show me certain things to do, I'll do it.
"But the Son can do nothing," said Jesus, "except those things that He sees the Father doing." Did you notice the resurrection of Lazarus? Look at the people died during the time of His reign. And only three of them we have record of was ever raised: Jairus' daughter, the widow's son, and Lazarus. His reign was three years and a half in Jerusalem, the anointed One of God.
But what did... When Lazarus His friend died, He said, "Lazarus sleepeth, and for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there. But I go wake him." He knew what was going to take place; the Father had already showed Him. Look at Him at the grave when He prayed. He said, "Not for Thee, not... You couldn't hear Me always, but for these that stand by, I ask it." Is that right? The Father already showed Him what He was going to do, because His own Word said that He could not do nothing except the Father showed Him first. Is that right?
Then, friends, isn't... Brother that said that to me tonight, brother dear, I... Unless God shows me. I'll speak what He says. But when He doesn't speak, I'll keep silent there, 'cause I'm a minister, and I believe in God. And the things that I speak of is the truth, and God testifies of it. And I'm not here to clown before people; I'm here to serve God and to do what God says.
